Hello..lol..I'm soo sorry ..didn't post anything fo so long...lol

We had so far 3 meets we won 2 of them, the last one was preety hard and competetive. We didn't do bad but not good enough either.

Well at the title says, yes I have two research papers to do.
Bothe of them are for my medical technology clas, however one is for Essay Competition but anither one is just a research paper on genetic disorder.

My two topics are:
1) Influenza (Bird Flue)- for competition
2) Huntington Disease- Med Tech research paper

About Influenza:
What I learned and kind of researched so far is:

1918- Pandemic of Influenza, 20,000,000 people in the US died.

Young adults were affected by the virus, most of the cases were fatal. When the First World War started and troops were sent to Europe to fight, they brought Influenza back to America.
Before the virus attacked humans, it affected only birds and pigs were carriers of the virus as well. However, somehow the virus' RNA (ribonucleic acid, stored in the nucleus) mutated and started to affect human organism. Later scientist tried to determine what caused the virus to mutate and where it came from. They determined that Influenza was a mutated Swine Virus.

About Huntington Disease:

Huntington Disease is a hereditary disease or genetic disorder that affects brain. The reason for the disease is mutated protein called Huntingtin, although scientists do not know the exact function of this protein, they know that if it mulfunctions it results in the death of brain cells.
